So sorry for your loss to the Everhart family along with the Neely family. I did not know Bill well but always thought of him as a great guy always friendly and pleasant.

I am so sorry to hear of Bill's passing. I just found out after the funeral because of a comment I read on the Geneva Patch. My mother Ramona (Stark) Olson was his first cousin. I have some cute baby pictures of them together. My mother and grandfather used to refer to him as "BilIy Boy". He was always so kind. I am very sorry for your loss.
